Hi Everyone,
Ava Indiana and I every Friday night do an Show on Survival on Blog Talk Radio. Our show is all about helping people to survive hard times and prepareing for unknown or unforeseen situations, that we all could be or have been in from time to time.
If you live in Tornado or Hurricane prone or Even Earthquake prone area’s of this country, you may need a room of your house that you and your family can live in that is safe. where you and your children could be safe from windows breaking and falling debri’s. Please keep keep your pets in mind they need to be and feel safe as well. Dont forget your children will panic less if they are helping you to prepare too. It is crucial that you all know as a family where to meet in an emergency in case of separation. All of this information will help also in case of an fire, We Learned just how unprepared we were an couple of years ago. When we had an Fire near where we live, so after the fire was out which took a lot longer then we figured it would. We decided we would never feel that helpless again. In our area we are all close knit group of people we know our Nieghbors and are always helping each other, if you live in an a Rural area then you know what I am speaking about. It really helps if you know your neighbors so even if you live in an city. You can survive any disaster that happens eigther natural or manmade.
One thing we learned when we had the fire up here in the Mountains, is that we did not have a suitcase ready to go. The major problem with that is that when you are in an hurry to pack, then you pack things that you may not need so. I would suggest that you pack a suit case for each person in your household. Including each of your pets for the pets, the suitcase can just be a small back pack. You will want to include their food dish and water dish a leash a pillow for their pet carrier and. an container of Dry petfood. Do not forget their vetanary records and a favorite snacks and one of their favorite toy.
Now for each of your children each child needs to have a suit case you can have your children help here. They can choose which toy they want to place in the suitcase. Since it is winter time right now I would of course pack warm clothing a pair of boots, warm coat, Hats, and mittens, these things should always stay in the car including a warm blanket. Or if you have severval children, you may want a blanket for each one. This also comes in handy when it comes to warming up the car in the morning. and you are running late, it takes a while to warm up so let each child use a blanket to keep warm in the meantime. you also may want to carry extra travel safe games and a video or 2
Some other items to keep in your car for emergencys are flashlights, Kitty litter yes I said kitty litter. Becuase if you get stuck in mudd you can pour a little around your tires and then you get out of the mudd. You can also keep old fashioned metal coffee cans an tea lights in the car that you light with a kitchen match. These tea lights inside a coffee can will emitt some heat just be sure you blow them out before trying to sleep. They can pose the same hazard that normal candles that you may use at home. such as causing a fire,
In suitcases that I pack for the car I switch out clothes every 3 months, for both mine and my husbands. I pack about a weeks supply and I also keep an container filled with enough laundry detergent and fabric sheets. to do several loads of laundry in my emergency container. I have toilet paper 2 pkgs of 4 rolls and I keep 6 Bath towels and 4 wash cloths. I also have some canned food in an container. I keep next to the front door, and I keep those big 5 Quart ice cream containers that. I fill with fresh water and, I keep six 6Gallon containers filled with water. The smaller ones are filled with water to drink, and the bigger ones are filled with water that we use to fill the toilet. During times of power outages, and we have power outages sometimes they are for 20 minutes other times they are much longer. I have actually done radio shows without power. They were so much fun, but I have a cellphone with an data plan. And a laptop I keep charged up and an wired telephone. and when I am away from my house. I can use my husbands cell phone to call into blogtalk radio network. My next plan is to get one of those cell phones that you pay as you go to call in to the station when on travel. These are just some of the things that we do some of these things save us money others just make life easier. Oh yes before I forget another thing we use the large 6 gallon containers of water for is filling our evaperatorive cooler in the summer. We also have a couple of large Batterie’s that supply the power for the cooler we are talking about the room size cooler and it runs our TV and Direct TV box.
